About this title

From the Inside Flap:

All fifteen-year-old Dusty Hamilton wanted was to go to his hometown's bash for the 1893 Land Run centennial. Instead, the Oklahoma teen finds himself a witness to a hate crime and he's the one driving the getaway car. Now a mystical white eagle has invaded his dreams, making him question everything he thought he knew about Native Americans and the bonds of childhood friendship. After the white eagle takes Dusty back in time to watch the horrors the Poncas endured on their forced removal from northeastern Nebraska to the wilds of Oklahoma Territory, Dusty must decide whether or not to act on the lesson he learned from seeing in action one of the first civil rights activists in the United States the Ponca's own Chief Standing Bear.
